Rill, Markus -& The Troublemakers-
Songland
Songland is already Markus Rill's ninth album released on Blue Rose and perhaps a little less extroverted, a trifle less (heartland) rock-oriented like his predecessor Dream Away, while being very articulate and markedly strong in lyrics and musically diversified. There's folk & roots sounds, country rock, Americana, rock n roll and a heaping helping of Southern soul of the Muscle Shoals and Memphis variety. The ROuble makers are obviously an important component.
